Events INSIGHT
From 10:15am to 1:15pm, staff members from the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta Ga. will present a Puppet Factory for children in Anniston Museum’s Auditorium. Children ages 5 to 12 years old are eligible to participate in the Puppet Factory. Trained staffers will guide and assist children as they create a “natural history” themed puppet of their very own. This is a free activity for ages 5-12. Supplies may be limited, and participation is first-come, first-served, so please plan your day around this activity if you would like your child to create a makeand-take puppet. The Center for Puppetry Arts Puppet Factory activity is funded by a Young Child Priority Grant from Kiwanis Club of Anniston.
